Hi all, a bit of advise required.....
my parents have a detatched garage at the back of the garden. it has power going to it via an old style fuse box from the house.
I think a rat or something has chewed through the plastic sheething and electric cable which runs to the garage on top of a garden wall and caused the electrics to fail.
Now to run a new wire from the fuse box to the garage would be quite a job as the house is already decorated etc and so my parents would rather not have to drill and chase walls to let through electric cables.
Any ideas on what best to do?
Secondly, there is an external WC in the garden through which the cabling to the garage currently runs. Is there any specification of switch/CU which can be fitted in a WC so that I could use the current cable up to this point and then change the rest of the cable from here on?
Many thanks.
